Annapurna Base Camp (also known as Annapurna Sanctuary or ABC) is one of Nepal’s scenic and adventurous trekking routes. It is a deep glacier, which gives the effect of an amphitheater surrounded by a ring of impressive high peaks including Hun Chuli, Annapurna South, and Annapurna l, Ganggapurna, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhre. The trail to this tremendous scene ascends the Annapurna foothills through forested hillsides, where we are given a taste of Nepal’s magical and majestic vistas with a spectacular sunrise over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.
From the terraced rice fields above Pokhara, we walk along good trails through picturesque Gurung villages and one of Nepal’s biggest rhododendron forests which, in spring, bursts with many different hues. This 15 days trek is a perfect introduction to Nepal’s mountain treasures. It is a good starter trek for those not sure of their walking ability, or simply for those who wish to make the most of only a few days. The trek finishes at the magnificent lake town of Pokhara, where you can relax and enjoy the tranquility of the lake and its backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
Mt. Annapurna, the 10th highest mountain in the world, is at the altitude of 8,091 m (26,545 ft). It is located east of a great gorge cut through the Himalayas by the Kali Gandaki River, which separates it from the Dhaulagiri massif which lies 34 km west of Annapurna I. The Range of Annapurna holds huge glaciers on its slopes. Mt. Annapurna I is the main peak of this chain of mountains which includes four other peaks that share its name: Annapurna II (7937 m), Annapurna III (7555 m), Annapurna IV (7525 m), and Annapurna South (7219 m). Annapurna is a Sanskrit name that means "Full of Grains'' and is normally translated as “Goddess of the Harvests” or more simply ‘The Provider’. In Hinduism, Annapurna is regarded as “the universal and timeless kitchen-goddess, the mother who feeds”. It was first submitted by a French expedition led by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal on 3rd June 1950 and the first Nepali climber to summit this peak was Sonam Wolang Sherpa on 13th October 1977.

The highest point of your trek, Annapurna Base Camp, is further upwards from Machhapuchhre Base Camp. You can choose how well your lungs and legs are doing.

Despite the lengthy day, you have plenty of time to travel.
